Scottie Scheffler recently became the World No.1 after winning the WGC-Dell Match Play last Sunday. Moreover, he is the 25th golfer to be World No.1 since the OWGR started. However, it is interesting to note that Scheffler studied in Texas, and it is the only school that has produced two World No.1 ranked men’s golfers. 

Previously, Jordan Spieth was the only golfer from Texas who ranked World No.1 for a while. Notably, there is no other school with two golfers from the United States ranking No. 1. Hence, this is an incredibly proud moment for the Texas Longhorns to cherish. 

Tiger Woods, who was 683 weeks at the top of the OWGR rankings, is the only golfer from Stanford. As for Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, they are from Coastal Carolina and Florida State, respectively. Another prominent golfer, Justin Thomas, is from Alabama, and Jon Rahm is from Arizona State. Hence, this is the first time that there is a school that has two top OWGR golfers.

Scottie Scheffler becomes fastest to World No.1 after first win

Scottie Scheffler was always in the hunt to win a trophy, but unfortunately, he repeatedly fell short. However, the year 2022 has been a wild ride for Scheffler, who now has three PGA Tour wins in just 42 days. He has also become the fastest player to reach World No. 1 after winning on the PGA Tour or DP World Tour. 

He became the top-ranked golfer in just 42 days from his first win, while Tiger Woods achieved the same in 252 days. That way, Scottie has taken almost 200 lesser days than Woods, which is yet another incredible achievement. 

Scheffler won the WM Phoenix Open in February 2022 against Patrick Cantlay in the playoffs. Since then, he has played some incredible golf and is looking indomitable.

Furthermore, Scheffler won the prestigious Arnold Palmer Invitational and then the WGC Dell Match Play. Hence, he is one of the top contenders this year as we head to the Augusta National for the Masters.
